Teye La Llama

This Teye La Llama is a guitar that I both love and hate, and it forces me to face my contradictions.

I appreciate sobriety, classicism, modernist minimalism and ergonomics, but I also like bizarre, baroque, psychedelic - and I hate minimal design when it's just a way to hide dullness and lack of imagination. After all, at 16 I was a fan of Adam and the Ants (who actually played on Telecasters)!

But there is a kind of guitars I really hate: the ones that cost $4,500.00.
